Mega Man has received many collections in recent years, but there hasn’t really been a new main entry in the series since the release of Mega Man 11 in 2018. However, there seems to be no need to worry, as Capcom has once again reassured fans that this classic series is still much of his plans for the future.
During his 45. General meeting of shareholdersCapcom mentioned that Mega Man is still one of the company’s “most valued IPs” and that it is always “continually considering how to create games for it” (thanks, Rockman Corner).
Another question touched on the results of the recent Capcom Super Elections, acknowledging Mega Man’s popularity in the poll and asking if this will have any bearing on the future of the franchise. Capcom reiterated that it values ”all” of its IPs, including Mega Man, and has always considered how to use them in games and media.
So don’t worry about the fact that Capcom didn’t do anything new with Mega Man lately, as the blue bomber is always considered for future outings. These comments follow Mega Man’s Game Boy library, which was added to the Switch Online service in June.
